[fsrm] set quota for sub dir by cmd line

[RabbieBurns]

im struggling and failing to set the quota for a folder using the dir quota admin command..

 

i just want do do, etc, for all folders in this folder, set quota to 5gb..

 

the GUI is a mess so want to do it via cli for ease

dirquota quota add /path:d:\folder\folder /limit:5000mb

 

 

dirquota quota add /? gives you syntax

OK This is weird. Using FSRM it says the students have 5GB. But when I right click on the drive, and look at the quota settings there, it says they have only 1GB.

 

Are these 2 separate settings? Do I require both, or has one been carried over from a previous setup?

Drive quotas as in the properties of the drive? thats different from FSRM quotas I am sure, you use one or the other but not both.

Btw I would use the /template "template name" rather then direct filespace quotas to setup alerts etc.

FSRM is all set up with templates etc and its set up as I want it to be, with seniors having 5GB

 

But in reality, they only have 1GB. Yes, drive quotas as in the properties of the drive. I will try removing that and seeing if it fixes up the problem. Cheers

Ok ive removed it from the properties of the drive so lets see how that goes.

Out of interest, how did it go? all playing ball now?
